Our Take

Ah, the UK Subs, a band that has been churning out punk rock anthems for nearly four decades. This anthology is a thrilling trip down memory lane, showcasing the evolution of the band's sound from 1978 to 2017.

From the frenetic energy of their early hits like "Stranglehold" to the more polished, mature sound of their later tracks such as "I Couldn't Be You," this collection is a rollercoaster of punk rock goodness. Frontman Charlie Harper's vocals are as raw and powerful as ever, cutting through the mix with a sneer that could make even the toughest punks quiver in their boots.

The production quality varies across the years, reflecting the band's DIY ethos and willingness to experiment with different sonic textures. The gritty, lo-fi recordings of their early material contrast beautifully with the cleaner, more polished sound of their later tracks, creating a dynamic listening experience that keeps you on your toes.

Standout tracks include the anthemic "Warhead," with its infectious chorus and blistering guitar riffs, as well as the brooding, introspective "Endangered Species," which showcases the band's more contemplative side.

Overall, UK Subs' Punk Rock Anthology is a must-have for any punk rock aficionado. It's a testament to the band's longevity and enduring influence on the genre, proving that they are still as relevant and powerful as ever. So grab your leather jacket, turn up the volume, and prepare to be blown away by this punk rock masterpiece.
